Acoustic strings on an electric. Not recommended for producing good tone. With that much distortion, it isn't that readily noticeable but, clean tones are not going to be good.
You did a good job on that take.
Your recording set up needs some tweaking though. There is a real lack of prescience in that. It sounds like you miked it at the other end of a large space.

haha, well i have the guitar in baritone tuning, and i dont really have any good way of dubbing myself over myself, except for good old stereo mix and microphone monitoring at the same time, lol but i think i may have overdone it on the reverb in the program, just pretend its a live bootleg.

Sounded good to me Leviman and well played, sounded like you had a lot of fun, AllThumbs covered recording issues but I also think your vocals could come forward a little, it's quite difficult to make out what you're singing.
Rockerbob was telling us just a couple of nights ago that acoustic strings aren't good on an electric because of the lower iron content in them i.e. acoustic strings are wound in bronze - electric strings are wound in nickel/iron which effects the magnetic pick-up - ask him, he'll expain it better!


When all else fails, read the instructions.

I listened to this a few times, and I am very impressed with your soloing. You are developing a nice touch, work on it, as everything stems from that.
Merry Christmas,
Ian
